Context
A sports hall used for several disciplines
Halle Jules Dubois hosts multi-sport activities, including handball, basketball, badminton and other versatile sporting activities. This type of facility requires a more detailed approach than simply replacing floodlights.
The objective was to create a uniform lighting solution suited to the playing areas, while integrating a control system capable of adjusting the intensity according to use and the available natural light.
STADÉLUM method
Study, layout, measurements and control: a complete approach
The success of the project is based on a structured method: analysis of the hall, photometric study, layout selection, installation, on-site measurements and operating scenarios.
The hall geometry, available height, wall constraints and sporting uses guided the configuration studied.
The study made it possible to anticipate average illuminance, uniformity and light distribution across the usable area.
The solution uses 14 LED floodlights positioned on the walls at a height of 6.5 m, with suitable aiming.
Measurements taken after installation make it possible to compare the actual results with the values from the study.
Photometric study
An initial simulation to secure the required lighting level
The photometric study was used to verify light distribution and the expected level before installation. It made it possible to check high-light areas, low-light areas and overall uniformity.
This stage avoids focusing solely on power. In a multi-sport hall, the result depends on the combination of luminous flux, mounting height, layout, aiming, optics and settings.
Selected configuration
14 LED floodlights installed at 6.5 m on the walls
The layout was designed to meet the building constraints. The floodlights were positioned on the walls at a height of 6.5 m to cover the multi-sport area with uniform light distribution.

Measured results
On-site measurements confirm lighting above the initial target
The available data makes it possible to distinguish between the values simulated during the study and the values measured on site after installation.
| Indicator | Photometric study | Actual measurement | Result interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average illuminance | 376 lux | 420 lux | Actual result above the simulation |
| Uniformity U0 | 0.76 | 0.71 | High actual uniformity for a multi-sport area |
| Minimum illuminance | 284 lux | Not provided | Value from the photometric study |
| Maximum illuminance | 472 lux | Not provided | Value from the photometric study |
| Average study / actual difference | +11.7% actual | The measured level exceeds the calculated value | |
Lighting control and operation
A control panel with 4 simple scenarios for users
The solution is not limited to the floodlights. The project includes a control panel that allows users to select lighting scenarios suited to different uses and to the available natural light.
Light sensors contribute to regulation to avoid unnecessary artificial lighting when sufficient natural light is available. This is an important factor in the energy management of a sports hall.

Discover the COURTLINE LED luminaire
COURTLINE is a linear luminaire that can be considered for certain tennis, padel and multi-sport hall configurations. Its suitability depends on the available height, mounting grid, optics, required lux level and expected visual comfort.
What this project demonstrates
A sports lighting solution must take into account use, the building and operation
A project validated by a study
The photometric study made it possible to verify the layout, illuminance and uniformity before installation.
Verified performance
On-site measurements confirm an actual average illuminance of 420 lux and U0 uniformity of 0.71.
Smarter operation
Scenario-based control and sensors make it possible to adapt the lighting to the hall's actual uses.
Technical FAQ
LED lighting for a multi-sport hall: key points to check
Why carry out a photometric study for a multi-sport hall?
A photometric study makes it possible to verify the illuminance level, uniformity, lower-light areas, floodlight layout and consistency with the intended sporting uses before installation.
What are the benefits of DALI control in a sports hall?
DALI control makes it possible to create several lighting scenarios, adapt the intensity to different uses and automatically regulate the lighting level according to the natural light measured by sensors.
Why compare the photometric study with on-site measurements?
This comparison makes it possible to verify consistency between the calculation and the actual result. It provides concrete evidence of the performance of the installed solution.

STADÉLUM studies your project before pricing the floodlights
Photometric study, mounting height, layout, lux level, uniformity, visual comfort, glare, optics, installed power and lighting control: each parameter must be checked to create a solution that is consistent with your facility.
